Today’s wifi password in the Virgin lounge I am sitting in has just been handed around. Here it is: feelgoodflying Wonder if they’re just being cheeky. Because obviously very few people do. Feel good flying, I mean. I assume I will get a couple of seats to myself. More than a couple. A chance to […]
“There will be signs in the sun, moon and stars. On the earth, nations will be in anguish and perplexity at the roaring and tossing of the sea. People will faint from terror, apprehensive of what is coming on the world, for the heavenly bodies will be shaken. At that time they will see the […]
What we’re experiencing, so far, with coronavirus, is a very civil virus. It’s like the difference between a civil war and very civil war. Check out my latest blog on Third Space here to see what I mean.
Just had my first post-apocalyptic dream/nightmare last night. It was a doozy. Well, not my first.
